you can listen to the whole performance with lots of talk here:- http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8650795

She looked reli happy during the show! There was so much twirling and prancing <3 Love Me Love Body sounds AMAZING in full.

my internet is nt doing good, and I tottaly cant watch the show, do you think you can record the new song?

edit: ohh nvm I'm watching them now <3 the song is :heart it sounds better than i thought. The bridge is really aggressive, the falsetto is butchering hitomi's voice, but nevermind, it still sounds so good :weep I really miss her. You can watch the new song performance around 30.00 minutes

she didnt sing the last chorus in the right lyrics :P how cute

Haha I noticed she messed up the lyrics. Something interesting also- in Japanese girl she never sang the "kimi no LOVE LIFE STYLE" part. . .

Yea- if someone could rip the audio of the new song that would be amazing! I have no idea how to do it =(

^I'm recording the new song's video to my phone, but it's so crappy that I dont think anyone wants to watch it. I'm using really old phone btw :P

if anyone still remembered the glamourous mama event that she attended and sang for them, here is the setlist

恵比寿 セットリスト
1. World Wide Love
2. 探し続けてたもの
3. LOVE 2000

I think that was the performance where she wore lady gaga's bubble outfit

http://twitpic.com/2ce4e6

wow, that's what I call outfit hitomi! really sexy and cute! :heart I sense huma-rhythm cover :laugh

setlist still unknown

haha, nice outfit, hitomi! :P

fabulous! I reli wanna know what she sang + whats up with that new video + Love me Love body mp3.

Love me Love body is out in digital single? Why don't we have it again?

Nice outift & setlist.^^

^it's actually release as ringtones, which is divided into 5 part. I dont think the full is out already.

and love me love body is one of the song that she performed in a-nation

ah ok.
hope we'll have the full version soon.

in 2ch someone mention this setlist

①GO TO THE TOP
②In the future
③by myself　
④there is…
⑤Smile World
⑥LOVE 2000

but it looks fake though, Smile World? D: new song? and there's no love me love body, which is pretty weird

her a-nation outfit is really cool :D

"Smile World" digital release 8.10 'GREEN TOKYO HELLO KITTY＆FRIENDS' theme song
http://hitomilovelife.net/news/100809.html

WOW :luv2 She has so many release lately!

Maybe this is the song that has a PV and was aired in the a-nation?

news on the hello kitty event :

http://mantan-web.jp/2010/08/09/2010...00020000c.html

...hello kitty? :roflmao

but yay, new song! the title is so cute! but really, i want a physical release soon too :(

I just fainted



the song is good, but I think I've heard a similiar tunes once, but I don't know. The PV is soooo low budget too. It's nice to see hitomi's back, but avex need to put extra concern with this lady.

I like love me love body more :laugh

:thud

hitomi looks SO BEAUTIFUL (and young)! :luv2 the song is cute, and so is the PV, lol. maybe more happens in the full version, who knows? :P i'm just happy she took the time to make a PV and a new song! :weep really relieved!

Love Me Love Body is up for download at iTunes Japan!

I love the new song and video. She looks soo effing good

^WOW I really hope someone can share it :luv2

I really like that song and Sagashi Tsuduketeta Mon. I'm definitely gonna check her out, do you guys have any suggestions where I should start?

^Not sure if you like older stuff, but IMO the album "thermo plastic" is her best work. There's lots of her hit song inside, like WISH and there is. The album tracks are surprisingly good, you really should try it

The rest will be LOVE LIFE and huma-rhythm. LOVE LIFE has a british pop rock vibes (I dont really like it, but lots of people do), while huma-rhythm is more to pop.

Oh why dont you try to DL her best album - SELF PORTRAIT? basically its all the extract of the albums i mentioned above

her recent album, which was released last year, is LOVE LIFE 2. but you should try LOVE LIFE first. then LOVE CONCENT (my personal favorite) or huma-rhythm. as for singles, try Japanese Girl, GO MY WAY, Love Angel, SAMURAI DRIVE, IS IT YOU?, and Ai no Kotoba.

Listen to WISH. The chorus melody is freaking great. I love that song <3

Despite of the low buget I feel like hitomi tried her best to make the PV better ^_^ it's not a bad PV, it's true she looks so young and vivid!

Smile World is composed and written by hitomi herself :luv2

you should try thermo plastic (great pop/rock album, my personal favourite), then LOVE CONCENT (it is more "popish", but very very good one - Japanese Girl, Ai No Kotoba ..) and huma-rhythm (mixture of pop, rock, dance ..)

OH WOW!!! htm htm htm!!
the new track sounds soo goooood

and I really want to hear love me body... :(


except–WHAT? What part of the video is making you guys think it's low budget? Regardless of the actual budget of the video, the production value is very good. Ya'll trippin' again. Besides, I've seen some *coughayucough* videos before that have had a presumably high budget and yet have been not so good. Lah.

edit: oh, why hasn't anyone suggested TRAVELER? Great music. I highly recommend it.

TRAVELER is a reli good album- but it seems to take people awhile to really get into.

I personally think all of her albums are strong, but for someone who is new to hitomi, I would say check out thermo plastic (songs like WISH and Taion), LOVE LIFE (MARIA and LOVE 2000), huma-rhythm (IS IT YOU? and SAMURAI DRIVE), and LOVE CONCENT (Japanese girl and ai no kotoba)

I dont really like traveler, because it sounds so plain.

Most of them are ballads, rock ballads which is very boring to me. but HIKARI is good though, I like the intro - Comodon Johnson also!

EDIT: hitomi got the 9th place on "most beautiful legs on their thirties"

http://community.livejournal.com/ara...89.html#cutid1

aww, hitomi deserves a much higher ranking :( i'm happy she made the list, anyway, lol.

omg great news!!!

Smile world make me think to a the end of 80s songs! O.o
She is nice. The pv is low budget but nice. Love hello kitty *.*

I don't why everyone keeps saying the video is low budget? In all honesty- hitomi has never had expensive videos. Plus- atleast hitomi is in this video- I would be upset if we got another W!W!L! type video.

*oh, and seeing as we are almost at 500 posts- whoever makes the next thread- remember that this is really hitomi's 7th thread, so the next will be her 8th.

Thanks guys, I've started on her discography and so far I've listen to both LOVE LIFE albums and they're both fantastic! So far my favorite are WORLD! WIDE! LOVE!, Kokoro no Sogen, Kimi no Tonari, Love me darling, WISH, and WE ARE "LONELY GIRL".

Traveler has one of hitomi's greatest ballads Like a Free Bird and Anchi is one of her greatest rock songs.

Love Body and Smile World sound great, this album is already shaping up to be better than LOVE LIFE 2 :luv2 now give us a proper single soon hitomi :yes (or new album)

I can't believe love me love body isnt online yet . . . its been on iTunes for days now

I think lots of people download the song, since it makes into hitomi top 10 most downloaded single :shrug maybe we should wait for more time

hitomi & hello kitty :P

^her legs are amazing, makes me even wonder why she only make into #9 in the poll :P

omg O.O I want to meet hello kitty too!!!!

She's really beautiful. I love her outfits so much!!!

you can see hitomi at 0.20 and smile world being played softly near the end of the video



and also a french news about hello kitty event, you can see hitomi's there too

Nice video but the second one is not in french, it's spanish tv I think

Shame Avex never released a hitomi remix album to coincide with the release of Peace, they could call it hitomix.

love me love body is available in hitomilove forum now. I still dont have permission to share it in other forum, if you want to download the song, just go to the forum first ;)

hitomi :weep why you have to be soooooo sexy??

http://twitpic.com/2gqusd

and more!

a-nation pics from today^

wow she rocks with that outfit, I totally like them

i just heard Love me Love body and i love it! :heart it's such a cute song. and it's already catchy since i can remember the chorus so well, lol.

Yeah its really awesome! I wish they would release SMILE WORLD too.

Do you have the artwork? I can't find it anywhere.

^I dont have a good one, but there's an official wallpaper from the coca cola website, might be useful for you ;)

http://www.cocacola.co.jp/products/lovebody/download/

love me love body is up in the download thread now.

LOVE ME LOVE BOBY is so nice!!!
I love it.

I wonder if someone have the cover of the digital single in HQ?

not the offical cover, but really close

http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs631...._2409761_n.jpg

I agree that love me love body is a great song. It's even better than WORLD! WIDE! LOVE!, but still has a distance from Fight for your run.

thanks a lot^^

prussian blue=> I agree. I hope she'll release others nice songs this year.^^

hitomi's a-nation tracklist! :D

1.GO TO THE TOP
2.In the future
3.by myself　
4.there is…
5.Smile World
6.LOVE 2000

part of me wishes she sang GO MY WAY :(

Is there any chance of you to go to a-nation ths year? That will be great if you do another review.

hitomi mentioned in twitter that GO TO THE TOP has a large fan base and she considered to sing it this year, and yay she did. One of my favorite song from her TK era. Shame that she didnt perform love me love body though

Yes I am going this year as well ;)

I'll try to do a review for you if you'd like!

where is Love me Love body? >.<

No freedom for GND & now no Love me love body for hitomi!! :scry

:luv2 Thank you :luv2

Maybe because Love Me Love body will only be used for the drink- while Smile World is a "real" (for lack of a better term) hitomi song that will be included in her next album?

^I hope both of them will make into the album though :(



CM of THX A LOT, did hitomi sing just in the first line? I think I can hear her voice. She sound lovely from the longer preview that someone posted in the ayu download thread. Her voice is surprisingly brighter and clearer than I expected

I thought this is cute

http://twitpic.com/2jhcuq

hitomi with AAA

Funny pic.
I like her pose.^^

http://twitter.com/hanehitomi/status/22474979014

someone asked hitomi if she's friend with AAA, but she said something that I dont really understand. I'm pretty sure she said they arent very good friend (maybe just ordinary friend?) and she said something about fight and sell. She's kinda confused me. I hope it's not a bad thing :rolleyes

and after that MAX MATSUURA tweeted her

max said something like "are you serious?" and hitomi replied "it's okay, they are young" (<- I'm not sure if she means MAX or AAA) and MAX replied her "it's not young anymore"

proper translation, anyone?

Maybe she thinks they're so young to be her real friends but she doesn't hate them.
Maybe she prefers to discuss with people who are the same age of her. :shrug

I love how Max Matsuura managed his artists. He looks like a mum XD.

You know I was thinking if hitomi was trying to say that they both are fighting for their CD's sales, and thus they cant be called as friend. While MAX sound surprised and ask her about what she tweeted about, and hitomi answered said nevermind, they are young, they have more chance to grab the sales or something xD Nvm, just my ******** theory

Yeah but you could be friend in privacy & enemy on stage.
I wonder if she is jaleous of young stars.
Even if they're totally different

www.hitomilovelife.net

some changes on the website, new pic and and new intro video

She looks so amazing!!

is that her new song? wow...i like it...
she looks great too...

Man, I wish they would, in some way, release Smile World already. I NEED TO TOUCH IT!

^amen for that

I dont like the new pics, hitomi looks too matured there :no

ayuGAME: yap its her new song for the anniversary of sanrio and hello kitty

^it will be released as physical or digital single?

can't wait for the full version...

the title is [smile world]?

^
They haven't said anything. They just threw the PV preview out like last month or so and they haven't said anything other than its for Hello Kitty.

^same goes for love me love body.

But atleast Love Me Love Body was released as a digital single

I dont see love me love body in her iTunes page anymore 0_o

What? It was just there a week or two ago.

Maybe its gonna be part of her next single or something- and they would rather have people buy the physical copy?

Double aside Love me Love Body/SMILE WORLD...I can only dream.


Anyways does anyone know where I can find her PVs for download or am I gonna have to buy "peace"? Because I've searched and can't find them.

Jpopsuki, I plan on uploading some I have that aren't on there soon.

^
I don't have an account. Anyone wanna invite me?

I suggest you just buy peace :laugh if you're too lazy to buy her every albums

I might actually have to lol, but probably just the DVD version tho. I guess not a lot of people like hitomi (I don't know why imo she's god like) and its pretty evident.

I have all the singles and albums on my computer, but it took a lot of hunting to really find everything and when its come to PVs and concerts just forget about it, they're impossible to find.

^I'm trying to help you, since I knew a french website that has a few of her PV but I forgot the link xD

I really like how your set got stucked into hitomi lately, finally I got another hitomi buddy here :laugh

Smile World/new song + Love Me Love Body as a bside would be the BEST single ever

peace is probobly my favorite jpop purchase, as well as most watched. totes worth the money

Thanks, I got tired of trying to find good kuu pictures to use.

Since I'm still new to her and everything I have a few questions.

1. WORLD! WIDE! LOVE! really only sell 645 and chart at #119? If so that's really sad.
2. Has she toured since 2005?
3. What are her "signature" songs (the songs she is most known for)? I know CANDY GIRL but what others?

1. yes it did. It was even sold poorer than her debut single. WWL was her worst single sale in her career.
2. yes again. In fact 2005 was a busy year for hitomi. She released 3 singles, 5 dates of a-nation, fashion show concert and live tour 2005 love angel.
3. LOVE2000, candy girl, samurai drive (<-her version is more popular than the original) those 3 songs are very popular in Japan up until now. Lots of people know hitomi by LOVE2000, even a Japanese olympic marathonist was a fan of her and listented to that song before she race.

In all fairness the single came out right before the album, it was just two songs that were off of the album, the video didn't feature hitomi, and there was zero promotion.

and I would also probobly add Japanese girl and there is. . . to the list of her most popular songs. All of of sogns are fabulous, however.

don't forget that the next thread is gonna be the 8th, not the 7th ^_^

^i'll make one now!
